I’m Your Big Brother’s intent is to improve the Physical Health and wellness of elementary age Black boys and girls by introducing them to the game of Golf, a game that they are not traditionally exposed to.

Research has shown that golf can increase life expectancy, help prevent chronic diseases, and improve mental health.

“We know that the moderate physical activity that golf provides, increases life expectancy, has mental health benefits, and can help prevent and treat more than 40 major chronic diseases such as heart attacks, stroke, diabetes, breast and colon cancer,” Dr. Andrew Murray.

Our program is instructed by a certified Health and Physical Education teacher employed by Oklahoma City Public Schools, along with Golf coaches and volunteers.

Rule #1 is to always make Golf fun! Therefore, I’m Your Big Brother believes in keeping it simple. We teach beginners about making a Golf swing in a way that they will enjoy.  The goal is to teach each child to have a consistent swing, that allows them to enjoy the wonderful game of Golf!

We introduce the children to the game of Golf in a fun and relaxed environment. We have an acre of land dedicated for the children to learn how to swing the club and hit the ball while learning the importance of being physically fit.

Additionally we have an indoor putting and chipping surface that allows the children to become familiar with putting a golf ball in a comfortable and non-intimidating environment.

We also partner with several Golf courses within the community that are kid friendly. Contact US to become part of I’m Your Big Brother. No experience or golf equipment is required.

“Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots – but you have to play the ball where it lies.”

~Bobby Jones
